Scorpions Snatch Late-Game, 7-6 Win
The Sonoma Scorpions handed the Vermont Milkmen a loss at Emeralds Ballpark. The final score was 7-6. Nelson Mendoza was one of the major contributors for Sonoma. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Cory Newton earned the save, his 10th, for the Scorpions. The Scorpions move to 28-30 with the win, while the Milkmen drop to 33-25.

It could have been a different outcome for Sonoma, had it not been for Bryan Sheary, the 29-year old left fielder . Sheary contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Sonoma up, 6-5.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Sonoma manager Keith Young.
